If you’re in the mood to step outside after all the rain, there’s three particularly stellar options for you. The Deloraine Show is on Saturday November 24, with mini-goats, a mechanical bull, and wood-chopping, while A Day at the Goat at Goaty Hill will be about wines and picnicking. In the Tamar Valley, Farmgate Festival will see 16 producers open their gates to give customers a first-hand look at how their produce is grown.  

Or stay indoors at Fullers Bookshop on Friday with the launch of Roadies, a new book from Stuart Coupe that is the result of more than 60 interviews with the unsung heroes of the music world: the roadies. And boy do they have some stories to tell. 

This is also the last weekend before December hits – and it’ll be hard to forget what season it is if you’re in the CBD on Saturday. That’s right, it’s the Christmas parade! Plan your parking, eating, and viewing options with our interactive map. 

While we’re in a festive mood, have you signed up to register your home for The Examiner Christmas light map? We also shared this week that there’s a new Christmas market on the scene: the James Scott Decorative Arts Society will be holding a market for homemade gifts and local produce in Scottsdale this year.  

Have a great weekend Launceston.
